About Us

Philosophy

At Holy Lamb Organics, we are a small manufacturing company dedicated to creating exceptional natural bedding products. We make it by hand, locally, in a small rural town near Olympia, WA in the historic "Little Bit" General Store built in 1902 which served the Oakville community for over 85 years. We are currently in our 14th year of business. Our bedding line is featured in over 80 stores across the USA and Canada and we currently employ 15 people.

Our specialty is using only organic cotton fabrics and local Premium Eco-Wool™, paired with our Zero-Waste manufacturing and sustainability practices in every step to bring you the very best.

Value-Based Company

Our business foundation is rooted in sustainable choices for everyone involved. We’ve considered each step in our manufacturing process and have minimized our eco footprint right from the start.

After 14 years in business, our eco footprint is actually still shrinking. Why? We’re continually measuring and striving to make it smaller applying Permaculture principles to everything we do. “The proof is in the pudding,” they say. Well, here’s a top level look at what’s in our pudding:

Sustainable Practices in Every Step

How we make our natural bedding is equally as important as what we make. Every aspect of how we do business, what we make and how we make it has gone through careful consideration and conscious choice-making.

Permaculture principles applied through every fabric of this company.

Raw materials sourced from credible & high quality mills

Careful consideration of all vendors we work with

Pledged to using only natural, local materials

Commitment to manufacturing in the USA

Vigilant to our Zero Waste philosophy

Promise to our employees: creating a outstanding work environment

100% Zero Waste of Our Manufacturing By-Products:

We reuse, recycle, or compost ALL materials used in production. None of our raw materials ever go into a landfill. Scraps and policies include:

ReKindle Program: Up-cycling small pieces of fabric and wool into useful products. See all of our ReKindle Products.

Free Bin to giveaway or donate to schools for their creative projects.

Our tiniest fabric bits and threads are composted or mulched.

Plastic Free Plastic Packaging policy

Cradle to Grave Practices:We create bedding that is does no harm. You may return your bedding to the earth by recycling or re-purposing it, doing no harm to the land, animals or people who live here.

Chemical & Scent-Free Facility:

We guarantee that our facility is a dedicated scent-free environment. A good percentage of customers count on us to deliver scent-free products. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a concern for many of our customers and employees.

Our employees come to work using only natural and scent-free products.

All of our cleaning products are guaranteed natural & safe.

We ask our customers when visiting our showroom to be scent-free.

Green Building Practices:

We use natural building products, FSC lumber, and salvaged building materials for renovations to our manufacturing facility.

In 2009, our building was insulated for the first time, and it was built in 1902!

We chose a green insulation product called Aircrete for insulating the walls instead of fiberglass. It’s made of natural materials so benign you can eat it!

Salvaged building materials are purchased from local reused building materials stores in our community.

What We DON’T DO:

No counting sheep! For any of us … We need to be able to sleep at night, too! This means:

No synthetics

No conventionally grown cotton

No chemicals or fire retardants

No carbonization of wool

No bleaching of wool

No sheep dipping

Dedicated phone support

Our Staff

Willow WhittonOwner

Long before I became a mother, my business practices developed from a keen sense of responsibility...plus, I’ve always been really big fan of our planet.

One question drives me: How will our business benefit both people and our planet?

Part of the fun is part of the plan: find quality sustainable local producers in the USA and create fantastic bedding for your family. It’s an amazing game, and I feel blessed to play it for us everyday.

Handmade & Local

Before our comforters, toppers and pillows are sewn, stuffed and stitched, the raw materials must be precisely measured and cut according to specific instructions. Having the right start snowballs into a smooth process and a fantastic piece of natural bedding. The stitching, stuffing, tufting and finish work are completed and each piece is inspected for quality in craftsmanship.

Speaking of quality

Throughout the whole creation of your bedding, each person on our team is invested in making a great product. All team members have the responsibility to check the quality before it goes on to the next step and the next person.

We have an incredible production team of happy people making happy products. Every day.

These are the names, faces and hearts behind the phone calls and emails with you. When you need help, education, quotes, personalized service, these are the people who are on the other side with the resources, knowledge and high service standards to serve you.

Excellent customer service is part of our heartbeat, our mission, at Holy Lamb Organics. Conversations are unscripted and each person has the freedom to listen and serve in order to get you the information you need.
